The Barbecue Company is a 25 year old catering and special event company started in Phoenix Arizona by its original owner Andrew Jepsen and operated as one of the premier catering companies in the Phoenix and outlying areas specializing in fabulous “Award winning” barbecue foods and many other types of international and regional cuisines. Our goal has always been to cook everything as fresh as possible using excellent quality meats, poultry and vegetables onsite when possible to ensure a hot, fresh and delicious meal.

In 2010 our new Wisconsin division officially was launched after moving to the lake country area west of Milwaukee to raise family and to take advantage of the growing demand for our great barbecue foods here locally. Our mission is to provide a variety catering options for both large and small corporate events, holiday parties, open houses, company picnics and to fulfill the different needs of private organizations, schools and church groups and the ongoing needs of family functions from weddings, reunions, graduations and of course sporting event parties. We feature a majority of the same great menu items that we are known for in Arizona along with many popular regional favorites from the Midwest region. Presently we are operating our catering and special event business in the Town of Erin near the scenic Holy Hill monastery and plan to offer a retail-dining atmosphere in the near future.

The Barbecue Company has been nationally recognized with over 100 awards during its 25 years of operation and was featured on the first Food Network “Challenge” series, Travel Channel’s Ribs Paradise show and was the President of the National Barbecue Association. Our ribs have won awards all over the country, including the Best of the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off in Reno, Nevada, the Bay City Pig Gig in Michigan, the Naperville Ribfest in Illinois, and the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa. We have also been awarded with the "National Championship" Trophy from the Sparks Nugget Rib Cook-Off, arguably the most prestigious award to win in the Barbecue world!
